Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 61:10

Isaiah 61:10. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord This is spoken in the person of the church, wherein she thankfully acknowledges God’s kindness to her in the fore-mentioned promises. My soul shall be joyful in my God The expression here is varied, but the sense is the same with that in the former clause. He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, &c. With salvation as with a garment, and with righteousness as with a robe: the salvation that God will work for me will render... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 61:11

Isaiah 61:11. For as the earth bringeth forth, &c. By this and the other metaphor here used, the church shows, not only the revival and restoration of her blessings, after they had been, as it were, dead and lost in the winter of affliction, but the great plenty and abundance of them that should spring forth and flourish: what had been as a wilderness should be as a paradise, referring to the effects of God’s grace and bounty. So the Lord will cause righteousness That is, his great... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 61:1-11

Good news for the exiles (61:1-62:12)God’s Spirit gives the prophet some good news to pass on to the Jews held captive in Babylon. They will be released to return to their land, but their captors will be punished (61:1-2).

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 61:10

"I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth its bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth: so the Lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all nations."These verses also... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 61:8

Isaiah 61:8. For I the Lord love judgment, &c.— For I the Lord love justice: I hate stolen things in an offering; and I will give them their reward faithfully, and I will make with them, &c. The reader is still to bear in mind, that the prophet, in speaking of these evangelical times and things, makes use of ideas and expressions taken from the old law. Burnt-offering is here used for the whole ritual worship of God. The phrase, Stolen things for burnt-offering, is not to be understood... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 61:10-11

Isaiah 61:10-11. I will greatly rejoice, &c.— The church here bursts forth into joy and rapture upon a view of the blessings of grace so liberally conferred upon her. In this sublime and elegant passage we have, first, a proposition, and then the reason of it in this verse, together with a confirmation of that reason in the next. The garments of salvation, and the robe of righteousness, signify in this place all those effects of the spiritual redemption procured by Jesus Christ for his... read more
